Great sleight of hand swapping that Helmet for the hat at 2:10 :-)

[@Idrivthetrain]

We will catch him sooner or later. lol. 😂😂😂

[@Idrivthetrain]

Slick transition from helmet to hat good sir. 😂😂😂

[@Astrobutch0901]

You set a great example of how to respect the outdoors. Your provision for protecting the pine forest from your fire should be commended! Great video as ever! Sorry you were defeated by your massive sausage..

[@billclifton2688]

Spot on ol chap!...defeated by his massive sausage Lol

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

😂😂 I’ll take chipolatas next time 🤣

[@EricTheSwede]

@@simonablokeinthewoods speaking of, what wood stove and "mat" are you using? I want to use my alcohol burner more but I also live in a place with very dry pine forests.. :)

[@AtomicBleach]

@@EricTheSwede I'm pretty sure he is using the Honey Stove in it's 6 sided configuration.

[@RayeRaye77]

Thank you Simon for this serene bike ride and camp in such a beautiful forest. Watching you pack up your gear is like a medtaion in itself. My kind of ASMR lol. Well this is me, smiling now. 😊

[@johanswanepoelswanies7483]

Lekker Boerewors, mooi man Simon. Much love from Durban South Africa bro.

[@barrywise2773]

The intro , middle and end were really good . I appreciate Your cool videos .

[@PeterBalssuweit]

No shit... The beginning of the video alone is perfect with the sound! Well done! Thanks

[@darwinherron8007]

Excellent video as always

[@jamesellsworth9673]

I watched in total amazement as first one thing, then another was pulled from tiny pouches. You still found space for camera equipment and batteries!

[@jillstevenson413]

Simon, I love the respect you have for nature. Plus, your videos are so calming in this crazy world. Keep up the great trips!!

[@diamondtbar9818]

I could not agree more. Heck, it was calming just watching the videos he made in his backyard during the pandemic lockdown. (We were stuck sitting in our houses too at the same time, here in the U.S.) Simon has such a way of connecting with his viewers. He makes you feel as if you're sitting right there, in camp. Simon, if you're reading this, your videos are a blessing to many folks.

[@warrenduncan4162]

Good wholesome content as per Simon

[@LeprechaunFireman]

Really like that hammock and bike bag system!!!

[@Rob.1340]

Cracking night. Cheers 🍻. 👍🐾🐾😎

[@garethfergusson9538]

Hey Simon, next time you cook some wors try it by adding water first about halfway up the wors, let that boil it a bit both sides this will reduce the amount of fat lost and after the water boils away you can crisp up the casing with the residue fat meaning no need for oil 👌

[@markduncan6690]

Talk about travelling lightweight! Well Done!

[@padesamsambas4869]

oh....yes that' coffee from Indonesia, its my Country,.....good taste 👍👍

[@lorrimiller835]

Smooth move with the hat/helmet exchange 😉

[@Hootyhoo-jq9vq]

Wonderful video. Very smart idea to test the tarp ahead of the next journey.

[@alexandrartiukh]

Дуже сам полюбляю подорожувати з гамаком👍👍👍

[@robertlee8400]

I just went on a weekend camping & fishing trip with some friends & my cousin & just made food something like this . Here in the states we have Rice-A-Roni & you can get it in different flavors . I pick up a beef Rice-a-Roni with one big onion , a big green pepper, a kielbasa a large one , a splash of duck sauce , a splash of soy sauce, a pinch of garlic powder , & some black pepper . Turned that into a dinner that me & my cousin split . Later my cousin made a homemade peach cobbler for dessert in a Dutch oven & had a big old heaping scoop of vanilla bean ice cream to go with it . We both were night fishing & eating at the same time , great times .

[@SirTeabag]

Finally you got a spork! yay!

[@troymadison7082]

I was having a weird energy sort of day, then Simon posts a video...all is right with the world.

[@chrisbardell]

Another fine film, many thanks.

[@robertjackson2069]

nice video and the info about the hammock camping was very informative. thanks for sharing.

[@dianejacklin4338]

Great video as usual. I bet your mummy would have made you eat the rest of that sausage for breakfast and I think I would get seasick in the hammock. Thanks again.

[@thomasmusso1147]

👍👍👍 .. nice, thanks for sharing. Those Carbon Felt Mats come in very handy .. I take and use mine everywhere. 'Boerewors' .. yummy 😊. Traditionally eaten with 'Mielie Pap en Sous' (Maize Porridge with an Onion and Tomato Gravy). The 'Pap' normally in two formats, 'Stywe' or 'Krummel' (Stiff or Crumbly). Already cooked Polenta makes for a reasonable substitute in the Outdoors and a Tin of Onion and Tomato mix (with added Herbs, Garlic and Spices to taste) closes the deal. I suspected that the Wors was going to be too much in one sitting. Cooked, it keeps well and would have gone down nicely the following morning for breakfast .. even just in a hot dog roll with chutney. Simplicity has a beauty of it's own 😊. Take care ..

[@craiglake6091]

Thank you Simon. It was like taking an adventure with a friend. We don't get the opportunity to do that often enough. Thank you.

[@eddybooth1]

Holly smoke Simon that was a big boy sausage mate, looked darn good 👍

[@kennethwilson8633]

Really an iron skillet and no cooking utensils. Nice outing have fun stay safe.

I'm surprised you didn't save the sausage and rice for breakfast.. Great video as always.

[@rogerbond7811]

Can also recommend the chilly bottle I was given one as a father's day gift.

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

Nordic summer stinks pretty bad, no one loves a fire more than me but I really don't like that stuff and I don't find it works for me anyway. I really like that hammock and I don't blame you for not lighting a fire. 👍👍

[@papajeff5486]

Lord have mercy!!! WHAT A SAUSAGE!!! Man-O-Man, that looked soooo good. Heh, heh, ha, ha…I watched you cook while I’m trying to fast. So far so good. I’m staying strong. Thanks for taking us along. Great location, great kit and great food, a nice ride on a beautiful day, all add up to a mighty fine camp. Simon, you’re the best. Thanks again. Kentucky 2d watching…now, a year later, in my forever, retirement home, in East Tennessee. That AMOK hammock looks comfortable, especially covered with the bigger tarp. The carbon welders cloth seems just the ticket for protecting the forest floor. You’ve moved onto the e-bike by now. I wonder how it compares to your nice mountain bike, with the big tires. Beautiful pine forest, thanks for sharing…from East Tennessee.

[@anbu94]

I'm motion sick just watching you in that hammock 🤣

[@warewolven]

Another great video.

[@yewchuanmootsteo2962]

[@lscblackwell9202]

I was sitting here at work, wishing I was off at the lake with my husband or just home in general - and this popped up! So peaceful and relaxing to watch. I always enjoy your posts, Simon! Take care and be safe out there! 👍🧡😊🙏

[@sortedoutdoors]

Just goes to show a camp needn’t be complicated. So relaxing. Thank you Simon 😊👍 and top marks on fire protection and LNT 🙏🏻

[@ewengillies9826]

Isn't it always that the simplest ones are the best. Relaxing comfy and good food is the best combination I know of. Well done Simeon. Bushyboy Oz.

Cheers Simon. 🍻

[@victorchetcutimusic8665]

Thank you for sharing 👍👍

[@allanb52]

Rather you than me, I'll stick to the Vespa and small campervan,... that's primitive. Good idea a beef sausage, no food poisoning if it's undercooked. Nice to see how others live, we take bikes on the back of the camper keeps me and my 70 year old bones moving. Happy days...is that hat glued on?

[@mikewhatley9783]

Nice set up on your bike Simon - looked like a fun little camp

[@AnvilAirsoftTV]

Simon. Utmost respect for carrying on making great videos. Not selling out or chasing the views with populist nonsense. I doth my buffy hat.

Seeing you walk though the tall weeds and ferns. All I can say is TICKS !! Went out earlier this season in Michigan and was covered with six witching minutes. Been in the woods all my life in Michigan and this is the first time in my life I have ever had ticks on me. Something has changed .

[@pjfreddy1]

That cup is no where near big enough for morning coffee at our age. Nice biking through the local villages, you picked a good time for the roads their getting so busy these days esp with all the harvest and fire engines. Still probably less than if the local AD plant was up and running lol nimbies. Big up to Banham butchers always good great variety of sausages.

[@williamgates1128]

Awesome video mate!

[@yewtreewalks9439]

Great video

[@darryncwaterillfish-it3034]

So awesome to see our national treasured boerewors 'sausage' is being enjoyed so much. That looks like a proper 'spekwors' or fatsausage that extra bits of minced fat added. Hope you get to enjoy that more often. It's the best 'sausage' in the world I think. Been to several European countries who brag about their sausage. But can't find one better than the traditional spekwors. Glad you enjoyed. Normally it's eaten by hand or on bread rolls. And even tasty then next day.

[@NewHampshireJack]

The night gig is finished, money to cover expenses transferred, and ready to go. OH, wait, two more days before weekend reset time. That is not so bad. Simon's videos always fill the void.

[@stirfrywok2927]

Pro tip! Put your beer into that insulated bottle and stay hydrated with a nice cold ale! Excellent video as always, love that hammock setup.

[@kooral6959]

I love my Trangia. From back in the day. Before my accident I used to be a panel beater. Yes a female panel beater. Luckily I have all my welding equipment from back in the day. Having disabilities I can only do it in the garden these days but the welding apron and gloves don’t off come in handy. I put this in a comment for a tip for people if they need stuff sometimes camping equipment is more expensive just look like a welding blanket or an apron and the gauntlets come in handy as well not just picking up hot pots. But for dealing with my inherited vicious cat from my Nana. I put those bad boys on every time I have to flea him. That pinwheel sausage looks absolutely amazing. I need to buy that thing. My collie and I would much enjoy it. Interesting that you took a UK legal knife this time. No I know that you are on foreign territory.

[@nattydred2593]

Simon, I love how easy and comfortable you made that overnight look, and what a great night's sleep you got. That's what camping should be. I recently spent my first night in a hammock, and to my great surprise, I slept better than ever in a tent, even better than I had indoors in a month. And as an added bonus, when I got up once, was greeted by the most amazing sky full of stars. Love the shots of the tree canopy.

[@andykjohnsonjohnson7622]

Great video Simon 👍. A Dame shame Mrs Maggie come along with you 😕, she would of finished off that chunk sausage 🤣🤣. Can't wait to see, your next Adventure with Andy 🤘. Keep doing what you do, lot's of 💗 from across the pond B.C 🇨🇦 .
